Crap! Now I have to spend god knows how long living with the Uchiha. That arrogant good for nothing… Sasuke interrupted my thoughts. "I'm going to the kitchen." Like I care he can take a million steps away from me and it still wouldn't be enough but in this case all he needed was to take five steps away from me. Sasuke began to walk thinking I would follow him; I was hoping he would take that fifth step but on the fourth he turned around.

"If you don't move I can't get anywhere." He said in an annoyed tone.

"I don't see a problem with that." I wasn't going to follow him around like a lost puppy. I could stay standing here all day if I wanted and there would be nothing he could do about it.

"Are you going to move, or just stand there like a dummy?"

'Don't push me Uchiha.' I thought before I answered.

"No." Every fiber of my being was telling me to hurt him but if I wanted to be free of this, I couldn't.

"No?" he asked with a smirk. I didn't like where this was going.

"Are you deaf Uchiha? I said no. I would rather stand here and die than follow you around like some lost-" I couldn't finish my sentence. Sasuke had picked me up and put me over his shoulder carrying me over to the kitchen. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get free. I was going to murder him! Once we entered the kitchen he dropped me on the floor and turned around to get to the fridge. I took the chance while his back was turned to knock him down on the floor and grab him by the neck, straddling him so that he couldn't run.

"Remember what I told you? If you ever touched me again I would kill you." I said my grip tightening around his neck but I found myself loosening my grip as I felt pain around my neck. The Hokage wasn't kidding when he said we'd feel the same pain double if we tried to hurt each other.

"No, I remember you telling me if I ever got this close to you," Sasuke grabbed my arms turning me over, so that now he was on top of me holding my wrist above my head. "You would kill me." My eyes went wide as he kissed me but what surprised me most was that every fiber in my body was telling me to kiss him back. His lips were warm and his kiss was gentle, my mind screamed out to kiss him, but I didn't. Off guard I was able to get one of my hands free punching him in the stomach, making him fall back. "Ever do that again and I swear…" I stopped breathless holding my stomach as I felt double his pain. "I don't care if this jutsu is still in effect I will kill you."

Next day:

Yesterday was the worst night of my life; I had no intention of sleeping on the same bed as the Uchiha so I slept on the floor, not one of my brightest ideas. Not to mention that my kekkei genkai, for who knows what reason, has no effect on Sasuke. This just topped off my good night.

We had just arrived at the training grounds to see all the teams were there, Shino's team, Shikamaru's team and of course my team. Sakura and Ino looked pissed, and we all know why. "Morning Tora, Sasuke." Asuma said walking up to us. "It's been a while, huh?" he said smiling at me.

"It's nice to see you too Asuma" I said smiling back at him. I hadn't seen him in months thanks to a mission he's been on so it really was good seeing him again. "I would hug you but I know you don't like to be touched."

"You know me so well." I said looking around us.

"Looks like your sensei is late and this was his idea." He said rubbing the back of his neck. Whatever this idea was it couldn't be good if it was Kakashi who had come up with it. All of a sudden Naruto comes running towards me pushing Asuma out of the way. "Is it true? IS IT TRUE? Is it true that you guys can't take five steps away from each other without feeling pain? And that last night you had to stay at his place?" Naruto had a huge grin on his face as he waited for an answer.

"Unfortunately." Sasuke said indifferent speaking for the first time today.

"It speaks…" I said I said in fake surprise, as Naruto broke out into a laughing fit, Sakura and Ino getting angrier by the second. After an hour Kakashi finally showed up. He told everyone what happened between Sasuke and me, and our five-foot death sentence. He had come up with a new "training exercise" especially for Sasuke and me that was supposed to help us get along better. Every team was supposed to chase Sasuke and me, trying to separate us by any means. If we are separated the jutsu stays activated for another month, if we work together and don't get separated once then I rid myself of him in two days. Two days was way better than a month!

Before the training exercise began Kakashi introduced us to Kurenai leader of team eight seeing as how they were also going to take part in this exercise.

"Now then you have till sunset to stick together everyone ready?" he said as everyone took their stance. "Go!"

We took off immediately disappearing into the forest.

"Now what? There's four hours till sunset, how are we going to avoid them?" I asked Sasuke as we jumped from tree to tree in the forest. "Well?" I said after a few minutes of not getting an answer.

"We watch each other's backs; make sure no one gets near us." He said in a serious tone.

"That I can do." I said with a smirk.

All of team ten surrounded us moments after we figured out what to do. We faced them back to back one step apart; we had to plan our next move carefully.

"You two make this easy!" Ino said charging at me with a kunai.

"Human Boulder No. Jutsu!" yelled Choji heading for Sasuke. In that one second I let myself be distracted Ino was able to cut me in the face under my left eye. "Shit!" I said baking up, as I pulled out a kunai to counter Ino. "Hmph… that'll show you for trying to steal my Sasuke!" That's when I noticed Sasuke wasn't following he was caught in Shikamaru's shadow possession jutsu. Just as Choji had rammed into Sasuke I punched Ino in the stomach knocking her down. Sasuke was headed into a tree and by concentrating chakra to my feet I moved faster. I was only three steps away from him when he crashed into the tree.

"I thought you were better than that Uchiha?" I said as I stood next to him.

"Shut up!" he snapped as I helped him up from the ground and returned to our fighting stance.

"You've gotten faster Tora." Shikamaru said as he lined up in front of us with that others.

"And you're still using that same old jutsu."

"What a drag…" Shikamaru said putting his hand up to his forehead.

"Hey, Sasuke. What do you think our odds are of beating all nine of them?" I asked as Kiba, Naruto and Sakura joined team ten and sensed tree more surrounded us under the cover of the trees.

Sasuke's P.O.V.

"Hey, Sasuke. What do you think our odds are of beating all nine of them?" Tora asked as Kiba, Naruto and Sakura joined team ten while sensing tree more surrounding us under the cover of the trees. I thought for a moment… there were a total of nine people surrounding us and with Naruto there unless there was a way to stop his shadow clones all at once things weren't looking good.

"Not good." Tora nodded in agreement.

"I'm really sorry about this, guys." She said as she activated her kekkei genkai, the Irai, and took control of Naruto and Kiba making them turn on their team mates. Kiba headed off into the forest most likely to battle his own team and Naruto turned on the ones in front of us.

"Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto yelled creating ten clones of himself and attacking Shikamaru and the others.

"Now we run." Tora said pulling my arm so that I would follow her as we began to run deeper into the forest way from everyone.

"I don't know how long I can keep controlling them from a distance either way I doubt I could keep it up for long." She said moving faster.

"Why?" I asked wanting to know more about her kekkei genkai, about her.

"Aside from the fact that I've been having trouble controlling my kekkei genkai it uses up too much chakra." She said looking over to me for a second. I didn't know why but I was drawn to Tora, I was attracted to her even though I knew I shouldn't be; it should be the furthest thing from my mind right now because I had other things to worry about. Then again she is strong, beautiful and willful. A part of me knew that though she threatened my life quite a few times she wouldn't carry it out. She hated me and I had a feeling that if I ever told her what I really think of her she might carry out that death threat. As we kept going through the forest I noticed a trap set up with explosive tags.

"Move!" I yelled but it was too late Tora had already set off the trap. I grabbed her and pulled her out of the way.
